ACR Transition to New Member Website!

We are pleased to announce that ACR will be launching a brand new member website later this week. Personify Memberclicks is a powerful membership management software that helps streamline operations, increase membership engagement, and make for a modern user-friendly experience. You may already be familiar with the site as it is the same backend used by SCP.



The new website will have a number of new features, including:

• An ACR events calendar
• 
  
• Streamlined operations for membership, conference registration, and payment
• 
  
• An option for auto-renewal of your membership
• 
  
• Opportunities for more member engagement and connection



As we transition to the new site, our current membership portal will be suspended for a day (or two at the most) during the transition so we ensure all our members are correctly ported to the new site. So, your ability to renew your membership may be unavailable on Wednesday (August 9) as we transfer the database to the new site.



We will be sending out another email later this week with instructions on how to access your new membership portal. You will use the same username (email) but will create a new password.



Registration for the ACR 2023 Seattle conference will open later this week on the new site!
